Previous Story: Signs

And here we are, the finale to this first set of The Diary of River Song. This is a solid story, though I think it could have been a lot better. For a start, as great as Paul McGann is, I'm a bit disappointed that River and 8 don't properly meet here. They talk over an earpiece and never actually meet face to face. Still, the interactions they do have are fairly enjoyable and it's interesting to see how River views other incarnations for once. Towards the end the story sort of shifts into a Doctor story rather than a River one which is not ideal in her own spin off.

I also just think it was all resolved quite easily, for all that talk of these being "the Rulers of the Universe" they never really felt that impressive by the end. I must sound like I hated this story but I did genuinely enjoy it. It's maybe not as high-concept or interesting as Signs was but it's still a fun and bombastic finale. Overall, I hope the sets get better from here onwards but as long as they remain atleast this level of quality then I'll definitely have fun.
